Birthright
 Serendipity — Eshu somehow always end up in the right place at the right time. 
The path she follows to arrive at this destination is equally fortuitous, 
winding her way through adventures and important meetings. 
When faced with a crossroad, she always knows which way to go. 
Her internal compass guides her where she needs to be, 
never bringing her to a terminus until the time is right. 
Eshu can never become lost under normal circumstances. 
If the eshu becomes lost through magical means, the player 
can spend a point of Glamour to reorient the eshu on her physical 
(and often figurative) path. 
Talecraft — Stories are the heart of the eshu, and as such, they gain 
something tangible when they learn a fantastical new tale or perform their
 own feats worthy of legend. Eshu gain an additional experience point from
 each adventure that yields such a tale, such as finding their way through 
a winding and dangerous labyrinth or coaxing a secret from a secretive countess.
Eshu never botch rolls involving Empathy or Performance. 

Fraility
Recklessness — Eshu can’t resist a gamble or a dare, not if the payout 
is a new story for their repertoire. Their curiosity and confidence in 
their ability sometimes leads them to take risks that a less adventurous
 kith might not take. Turning down a bet, dare, or call to adventure triggers 
Banality in eshu.

Character Description:Now in her late 20s, Luul is a black woman of exceptional
grace and joy. She is tall, but typically crouches or stoops to talk with her
students on their own level. She wears a headscarf when out
in public, and favors dresses to pants. Luul carries a satchel
that holds her laptop, her paperwork, snacks, and at least three
books (she compulsively buys children’s books to read to her
class). She has a ready laugh and an easy smile, but remembers
her mother’s wisdom and always keeps an eye on the exits.

Character Bio: 
HISTORY
==============
   Luul Al-Baz was born in the United States to a pair of
Somali refugees. From the time she was very small, she heard stories of horror
and wonder. Her mother, who had been stuck in a refugee camp for more
than a year, told her the tales of how she got out, and why she got out. Her
father, on the other hand, told her marvelous stories of his childhood
in Mogadishu, the adventures he had with his friends, and
the things he saw on the long walk from that city to
the port city of Kismayo. Luul grew up torn between
fear of having her life ripped away, and slight envy
for how much her father had experienced.
Her father died of cancer when Luul was 15.
On his deathbed, he wept and, in fever dreams cried
out for his father and brother. Luul asked her mother
what this meant, since her father had never mentioned
these people in his stories, and her mother told her the truth.
Her father had nightmares about his journey, but he chose
to focus on what few scraps of joy he could, to share those
with Luul, in hopes that she would see the world as it could
be, rather than as what it had been to him. Her mother, for
her part, felt that being honest with Luul was better, so that
she would grow up “with her eyes open.”
After her father’s death, Luul thought long and hard about
the messages her parents had given her. Neither of them were
wrong; the world was horrific and awe-inspiring in equal measure.
In the end, Luul thanked her mother (and, in her prayers,
her father) for what they had given her: Dreams and knowledge.
Luul entered her Dream Dance a year to the day after her
father died, and the explosion of Glamour was so intense that
it swept her mother up in it as well. Enchanted, Luul’s mother
saw her daughter reclaim her heritage as an eshu, and wept as
she saw her husband’s wonder in her daughter’s eyes.
Luul’s wilder years took her through high school (including
a year studying abroad in Europe), undergraduate studies,
and a Master’s degree in education. When she got her job
teaching kindergarten, she settled into her role as a grump.
Dreams and knowledge: one cannot exist without the other,
and she would give her students the benefit of both.
Although teaching in the US public education system carries
its share of Banality (progress reports, meetings, continuing
education, and the endless standardized testing), Luul keeps her fae
nature handily. At any given time, she has 25 little dreamers under
her care, after all.
